Possible next project is the Sudan so was wondering how many poses are in packs SC5, 6 and 7 and if any of the figures in these packs are rifle armed.
If not what ranges/codes wuld make for suitable rifle armed arabs/tribesmen to compliment the range
Cant answer for those - only got the Mahist Camels, and use them in WMA.

Hi Nosher
I would recommend the Mahdist army pack as being value for money, considering the numbers needed for the Mahdi's/Khalifa's army. Regarding poses, there are 7 types of figures included in the army pack
turbaned arab riflemen
4 different fuzziy wuzzy's - 3 with spears & shields, 1 with sword & shield
3 shaven headed- 2 with spears & shields, 1 with sword & shield
Camel riding fuzzy's
All figures are advancing/charging. Also have a look at the link below for extra riflemen

How many officers/staff/ensigns/trumpeters/bagpipers come in the British Infantry/Naval Brigade/Egyptian Infantry Packs?
Is there any mounted command figures for the british/egyptians?
Is the Mahdist command pack foot or horse or a mixture of both?
Cheers in advance ;)
The highlanders from the boer war range come with one piper and a cracking officer figure firing his pistol at the hordes.
The Sudan codes are all 2-3 poses each, and there's a rifle in SC7, but I'll double check the moulds tomorrow and get back to you with more definite answers.
Hello Nosher
I don't know about the Brits/Egyptians as I'm planning to do the Sudan'ish campaign circa. 1898 using Boer/NWF Brit. figures but I would second Jim Ando's recommendation of the Highlanders, they're rather nice!
As for the Madhist command, they're foot with two poses - one chap carrying a flag and another clad in armour for a chief. For a extra bit of spice you could add the civillans from the range and use a figure in turban and robes for a commander(s)
Cheerss Dickie:-)

Look forward to this Leon ;)
SC5: 3 poses - 2 w/ spear, 1 w/ sword
SC6: 3 poses - 2 w/ spear, 1 w/ sword
SC7: 3 poses - 1 w/ spear, 1 w/ sword, 1 w/ rifle!

You could also pick a few figures out of the Afghan range.
Cheers Leon ;)
How about the pack compositions for the British and Egyptian ranges as follows?

Cheers in advance :D
How many command figures come in the british and egyptian packs (both mounted and foot)?
Cheers in advance ;)
Naval brigade, SC3: 1 pose, firing.
Egyptian Inf, SC4: 2 poses, firing and advancing.
If you're doing the earlier period, then the British would be from ZC1 and are 2 poses, firing and advancing.
For the later side, it would be BW5, wich has 3 varieties of advancing poses.
These all have a single officer figure in them, however we can provide extra if you want them.
Finally, for mounted command, you can use the two codes in the Boer range, BW's 19 & 20.
Cheers Leon ;)
ME23 Indian Foot in Turban - anyone got a pic of these? Wondering if they are suitable for Bengal Infantry?
Use the NWF indians they`re really nice it`s what I use.

Did you mean NW2?
Isn't a poshteen civilian clothing? Most of the uniforms I am seeing for the Bengals were british in style topped off with a turban headress.
I'm figuring on doing early British so looking specifically at pack ZC1 is the advancing pose a 'running' advance or an advancing figure at port arms (rifle across the body at 45 degrees).
Pictures on my blog here (http://comment-deleted.blogspot.com/2011/03/miniatures-review-7-10mm-pendraken-zulu.html) for ZC1
Cheers Dave H - most helpful indeed ;)
